To all ill/tom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. Fnromn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bonifas, in the county of Gogebic and State of Michigan, have invented new and use ful Improvements in Extension-Sockets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to waste valve plugs and is an improvement on a patent granted to me November 19, 1917, Serial No. 1,246,737.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved attaching bracket, which is adapted to be removably secured between and supported by the hot and cold water spigots of a wash basin or tub, and which is designed to form a hearing for the guide bracket of the rod which carries the waste plug, the attaching bracket being adjustable to suit the distance between the spigots, provision being made for adjustably receiving the plug rod guide bracket so that the plug may be properly positioned for entrance into the water opening.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear when the following de. scription is read in connection with the ac companying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention shown in connection with the subject matter of the above mentioned patent.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same, and

Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of the adj ustable arms.

Referring in detail to the drawings, like characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

As before stated the invention is used in connection with the waste valve control means forming the subject matter of the previously mentioned patent, this means including a spring actuated jointed rod 10, which carries at its lower end a plug 11 and is provided at its upper end with an operating knob 12. The rod 10 is guided in a bracket 18 provided with upper and lower bearings 14 and 15, the former being provided with a. slot 16 of key hole formation for engagement with a notch 17 formed in the rod 10. The bracket 13 carries a laterally extending arm 18, each of the foregoing forming a part of my former patent and not claimed in the present application, the illustration being merely for the purpose of showing t practical application of the im vention. It is to be understood that while the invention is connection with the above structure, it is obvious that other structures may be substituted for the one shown and described and the right is reserved to make use of the invention in any manner to which it is applicable.

The present invention is designed to pro vide an attaching device or bracket which includes the body portion 20, which is formed with a transverse opening 21, designed to receive the laterally extending arm 18 of the bracket 13, a set screw 22 carried by the body portion 20 and extending into the opening 21 providing for adjustably positioning the bracket 13, so that the plug 11 may be properly spaced with respect to the waste opening. Each end of the body portion 20 is provided with a. longitudinally extending socket 23, which is adapted to receive one end of an arm 24, which is ad justably secured within said socket through the medium of a thumb screw 25. The opposite end of each of the arms 24 is provided with an arcuate engaging element or claw 26, which is adapted to be positioned upon one of the alined spigots usually provided in wash basins or tubs for the purpose of supplying hot and cold water thereto.

It will be seen from the foregoing that the invention provides a. convenient means of securing the plug 11 in proper position for entrance into the waste opening of a basin or tub, the adjustable feature of the bracket 20 permitting of its being secured between spigots whose distances vary, while the man nor of attaching the bracket enables its use without in any way marring or injuring the basin or tub. and not requiring the services of a mechanic in its application.

Having described the invention, what is claimed is 1. An attaching bracket of the class described embodying a body portion having an opening therein, a. set screw entering said opening, extensible arms provided at each end of the body portion and arcuate shaped spigot engaging ends provided upon each of said arms.

2. The combination with a pair of spigots disposed in horizontal alinement and spaced apart, of an attaching bracket comprising a body portion having an opening therein, an extensible arm secured to each end of the body portion and means located at the outer shown and described in ends of the nuns for engagement with the so ured Within each of said sockets and adjacent surface of the Spigot. means located at the outer ends of said arms 3. An attaching bracket embodying an for engagement with the opposed faces of 10 elongated horizontally disposed body porspaced stationary supports, to removably tion having an opening therein, a set screw suspend the bracket between the supports.
